Olympia Film Society

POSTED July 22nd, 2009 by James in Featured, Web Sites, Work | No Comments »

Olympia Film Society is a staple of Olympia, WA. The non-profit organization came to Say This, Say That! looking to give the society more of a web presence.

We decided to make a robust web site with blogging features and an event calendar. The event caldendar offers a dynamic way for OFS members to view upcoming show times, or events relating to OFS.

The layout we designed is clean and organized and was developed with ease of use in mind.

Embedding high resolution YouTube videos

POSTED August 25th, 2008 by James in Web Design | 1 Comment »

A lot of people realize that YouTube now features the option to watch certain videos in high resolution, but what a lot of people don’t know if that you can modify the embed code used for YouTube movies so that they will play back in high resolution as well. For instance, take this embed code for example:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TQc5d-A6×3E"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TQc5d-A6×3E" type="/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425″ height="344″></embed></object>

If you add the following code to the value url and embed src, it will display the video in high resolution…

&ap=%2526fmt%3D18

Once added, the code looks something like this…

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TQc5d-A6×3E&ap=%2526fmt%3D18"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TQc5d-A6×3E&ap=%2526fmt%3D1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Heres an example of it in action on one of my animations…

This is a very nifty find for people who post a lot of video blogs, podcasts, and such.
